Negs. Job interview today. I got all prettied up.

Jealous

I wasn't planning on the truck being this desolate, but it looks like I may need to abandon it for another weekend. I have a very important bachelor party to attend and then I have to do some fire prevention mowing at the in-laws.

But, if all the stars align, I may be able to get a late Sunday afternoon brake line party going on.

And Stic, still no word on the interview I went to.

Man, this thread sure is desolate w/o any progress pics....

Sorry IZ, but I've been web-working on the web-wheeler. Check out these tabs for the shocks/engine brace (with heims).

Ill take 2 sets.

The passenger side of the engine compartment looks pretty desolate with all the shiz you had to remove.

The driver's side is equally as empty. It'll take a little effort to get the air intake and battery back under there, but I should have plenty of room for other cool stuff like the ARB compressor and maybe a mini fridge.

That's a smashing idea, superb, superb!
You might consider increasing the thickness of the section between where it welds to the hoop and the shock hole. Cauz you don't want that cracking on you especially if your thinking of going coilovers or air shocks later.

7 years on this damn forum and i finally made someone LOL.

I feel complete.


Oh wait, you were lawling at his pic and not my comment. Gdamblank blank la blank blank.

 

[IZwack]

Still LOL-ing.

 

[section525]

Whaaaaat? I worked on this thing?? No way.




[#1] So the Explorer needs to be smogged by sometime in October. I guess that lit a little fire under my behind. I got revsion 3 shock hoops 100% done and mounted. Both sides. We started out the day driving it down the road to my buddy's shop to measure for the shocks.

[#2] Bought a new portanband which is badass!!

[#3] Rev 3 shock hoops. These are much narrower than the previous two versions. They allow a ton more room for things like the battery and air filter. :

[#4] This is what you get at full droop.

 

[section525]

And where I left off. Alignment and smog this week. Mount the ARB compressor too. I'm getting there...

 

[IZwack]

Good stuff - dont forget, Truckhaven is in less than two months!

 

[Tbars4]

...I am curious as to where you plan on mounting the compressor...

 

[section525]

Where the old ABS unit was. Between the M/C and battery.
